Liverpool continued their push for the Premier League title with a tҺrilling victory over Fulham on Sunday. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late goal secured three crucial points in a match that saw a drаmаtic turnaround, with Fulham initially leading 3-2. Liverpool’s impressive form this season, with only one Premier League defeat so far and progress in the Carabao Cup and Europa League, has been marred only by ιnjury concerns.
One of the significant injuries is Joel Matip, who was forced off during the Fulham game. Manager Jurgen Klopp indicated that the knee issue appeared to be serious, although no scans or definitive timeline for his return have been provided yet.
First-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker suffered a hamstring ιnjury in the draw against Manchester City. Klopp mentioned that Alisson’s ιnjury is not as severe, but he is expected to be out for a few weeks, with a potential return date in December 2023.
Diogo Jota, who also sustained an ιnjury during the City game, is facing a lengthier spell on the sidelines compared to Alisson. Klopp mentioned that Jota’s ιnjury is more severe, but the exact timeframe for his return is uncertain.
Andy Robertson, a key defender for Liverpool, underwent shoulder surgery in October. While his recovery is progressing well, no specific return date has been announced.
Thiago Alcantara has yet to feature this season due to hip surgery and is not expected to return to action before the start of the new year.
Despite these ιnjury concerns, Liverpool’s strong form and depth in the squad have enabled them to maintain their title push in the Premier League.
